Just plein cool: Sylvania Plein Air Festival celebrates spur-of-the-moment art
Sylvania will soon be awash with painting as the second annual Sylvania Plein Air Festival begins Sunday and runs through the following week. The purpose of plein air, which translates from French as “painting outdoors” is to capture the majesty of the great outdoors on location.

It’s about capturing one glorious moment in the medium of paint and brush. Katie Cappellini, executive director of Red Bird Sylvania, which is hosting the festival, said that response to the event from artists all over North America has been huge. “Plein air is making a huge comeback nationally and somehow we tapped into that movement and we have artists coming from all over the country and Canada to paint Sylvania, it was limited to 125 and that filled up in April.”

There are Just 5 Rural Southern Michigan Counites Without an Interstate Highway
Southern Michigan is the most populated region of the state, so it's no surprise that the most interstate highways crisscross this portion of the state. Interstates 94 and 96 run west to east and I-69 and I-75 are north-south (until I-69 hits Lansing and changes orientation). Add in I-196 up the lakeshore and you will find nearly all counties in the southern portion of the state have interstate highways.
